In 2005, LearnHigher received funding as one of 70 Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETLs). Led by Liverpool Hope University, LearnHigher was the largest collaborative CETL with partners from 16 institutions committed to improving student learning by providing excellent resources to support students' learning development, and through practice-led research into the effective use of those resources
With the end of CETL funding in 2010, LearnHigher activity is continuing under the auspices of ALDinHE, the Association for Learning Development in Higher Education
